Why book through us
Why book flights to India through a person, not a price-comparison site?
Anyone can show you a fare. Fifteen-plus years of doing this, IATA and ATOL accreditation, and a real agent who answers the phone — that’s what you’re actually paying for when a trip gets complicated.
IATA & ATOL accredited
London office, real people who answer
The difference a real travel agent makes
Not on every booking — but on the ones that matter, it’s the difference between hoping and knowing.
IATA & ATOL accredited
Properly regulated, not a WhatsApp reseller — ask us to confirm exactly what protection applies to your booking.
A real person, every time
The same agent who quotes your trip is the one who sees it through, not a rotating queue.
15+ years, India specialists
This is the one destination we’ve focused on for over fifteen years — not one of fifty a call centre script covers.
Four steps, one point of contact
Tell us the trip
However complicated — that’s genuinely what we’re here for.
We build real options
Checked by a person, explained honestly, not just algorithmically ranked.
You book with one person
The same agent sees it through, start to finish.
We’re still here after
Changes, questions, problems — same number, same team, no queue.
We didn’t build this business to sell fares. We built it to stay part of the community.
Patel Travel started as, and still is, a family business serving London’s Indian community — Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu spoken in the office, not just on a translation app. We know the festival calendar, the wedding season, and the families who’ve booked with us for a decade or more.
Languages spoken
Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu & English — ask for someone in your language.
Festival-aware
We plan around Diwali, Navratri and wedding season, not just school holidays.
Word of mouth
Most of our clients are referred by family or friends we’ve already looked after.
Meet Mr. Patel
Patel Travel has always felt like family, not a booking engine. Mr. Patel is the face of that: the reminder that behind every reply is someone who understands the itinerary and the culture, and won’t rest until it’s sorted.
Why people choose us
“32 of us flying to a wedding in Trivandrum from three different cities. One agent, one point of contact, no chaos.”
“They arranged wheelchair assistance for my father flying alone to Delhi, and checked in with us the whole way.”
Choosing a travel agent — common questions
Is it more expensive to book through a travel agent?
Not necessarily — for simple fares it can be similar, and for complicated trips (multi-city, groups, assistance) it’s often better value once you account for the time and risk saved.
Are you actually accredited?
Yes — IATA and ATOL accredited. Ask us to confirm exactly what protection applies to your specific booking.
What makes Patel Travel different from a general travel agent?
We’ve focused on India for 15+ years rather than covering fifty destinations thinly — depth on the one trip that matters to you, not breadth across everywhere.
